Austro-Hungarian Navy

The Austro-Hungarian Navy was the naval force of Austria-Hungary. The navy was founded in 1867 as the successor of the Austrian Navy, and it took part in conflicts such as the Boxer Rebellion, the First Balkan War, and World War I, with Austro-Hungarian U-boats taking advantage of a lack of coordination by the Entente navies to inflict heavy losses on Allied shipping. Ultimately, however, the Mediterranean naval campaign had little impact on the outcome of the war. The 1919 Treaty of Versailles granted all of Austria-Hungary's coastal territories to Italy and Yugoslavia, and their naval vessels were confiscated.
